Symphonic Dances from West Side Story

Approved

In deze aflevering van Pieces of Tomorrow nemen het Radio Filharmonisch Orkest en chef-dirigent Karina Canellakis je op sleeptouw naar hét grote succes van Leonard Bernstein: West Side Story. Het is een musical met de kracht en dramatiek van een opera, losjes gebaseerd op de tragedie Romeo en Julia van Shakespeare. Het idee ontstond in 1949 in de hoofden van choreograaf Jerome Robbins en componist Leonard Bernstein. De personages van Romeo en Julia werden ingewisseld voor twee rivaliserende jeugdbendes in Manhattans West Side.
In 1957 was West Side Story gereed en op 26 september van dat jaar was de première in het Winter Garden Theater op Broadway, New York. De musical was een groot succes. Een groot aantal songs uit deze musical heeft een plaats veroverd in het 'Great American Songbook'. Deze komen allemaal voorbij in de Symphonic Dances die Bernstein zelf destilleerde uit het originele werk.

Nostalgisch genieten is dus het trefwoord van deze Pieces of Tomorrow. Ga op je gemak naar TivoliVredenburg, we beginnen om 21.00 uur, neem je drankje mee, hoor wat musici over dit programma te zeggen hebben en laat je onderdompelen in de machtige symfonische klanken van Bernsteins Symphonic Dances uit West Side Story.

Nederlands

In this episode of Pieces of Tomorrow, the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and principal conductor Karina Canellakis take you in tow to Leonard Bernstein's greatest success: West Side Story. It is a musical with the power and drama of an opera, loosely based on Shakespeare's tragedy Romeo and Juliet. The idea originated in the minds of choreographer Jerome Robbins and composer Leonard Bernstein in 1949. The characters of Romeo and Juliet were substituted for two rival youth gangs in Manhattan's West Side.
By 1957, West Side Story was finished and on Sept. 26 of that year, it premiered at the Winter Garden Theater on Broadway, New York. The musical was a great success. A large number of songs from this musical have earned a place in the Great American Songbook. These all appear in the Symphonic Dances that Bernstein himself distilled from the original work.

Nostalgic enjoyment is the key word for these Pieces of Tomorrow. Go at your leisure to TivoliVredenburg, we start at 9 p.m., bring your drink, hear what the musicians have to say about this program and immerse yourself in the powerful symphonic sounds of Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from West Side Story.
